Camels at the Treasury in Petra

Petra is an ancient city located in the present day Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Built by the Nabateans in the 1st century BC, the city is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the top attractions in Jordan. The Treasury building (pictured below) is the first monument visitors see as they approach the city through the mile-long Siq (gorge).

Aerial view of Lago di Lugano

Lago di Lugano is an alpine lake high up in the Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. I took this photo from 30,000ft on a flight from Amsterdam to Milan. The town of Lugano in Switzerland, including its airport (bottom left), can clearly be seen. The causeway that crosses the lake (bottom right) carries highway no. 2 which is one of the main road links between Switzerland and Italy.

Boat tour under the Iguazu Falls

One of the most exhilarating experiences at the Iguazu Falls is to take the short boat tour along the Iguazu River. The boat goes up the rapids and past several falls before making a quick shot or two under the falls – to make sure everyone gets a close-up experience of the thunderous roar. You’ll be drenched for sure!
